Calcavecchia withdraws from Tampa with illness

By

PALM HARBOR, Fla. – There was cause for concern Sunday when Mark Calcavecchia slumped into a folding chair on the practice putting green, in need of medical attention.

Fortunately for the 53-year-old, his withdrawal during the final round of the Valspar Championship was because of illness and not something more serious. After turning in 4-over 40, he was taken to the medical tent by a paramedics cart.

“I’ve never seen him this white,” said his wife and caddie, Brenda. “He was ready to go down.”
